None need \n-liconv, it's a build error on S10 (which was the one I cared about).\n\nI can dig into the Iconv situation further later in the week, or \nnext. I am away from home at moment.\n\n> So is the current setting correct on some versions of Solaris 8 and \n> if so, is there some way to change this setting from the command \n> line ?\n\nI couldn't find an S8 machine to test on, so I left S8 alone - \nexisting behaviour, I had no basis to judge it incorrect. S8 is \n/really/ old now btw. ;)\n\n> Btw, like Uwe, I also don't have a \"gtar\" and \"ginstall\" on this machine.\n\nS10, maybe S9 too (not sure), install these to /usr/sfw/bin, if you \ninstalled everything.\n\nregards,\n-- \nPaul Jakma\tpaul@clubi.ie\tpaul@jakma.org\tKey ID: 64A2FF6A\nFortune:\nInterference from lunar radiation\n"}]}
